Title: Fonts
Post by: GhostCDB on May 27, 2014, 12:41:27 PM
Not sure which forum this goes in but just a random question . . .

What fonts can actually be used on the bbs. Whenever you select font face or whatever it says verdana . Is that the only other font or
can you select Bank Gothic MD or Lucid etc etc

Are you talking about the posting box?

You can enter any font you want into it.  If it does not exist on the user computer, then the font will revert to the default.

Example:  Here is Courier.
If you have "ST Stencil" installed, this text will look very different from the default font.

You have to manually type in the name of the font.  The selector defaults to "Verdana".

I did not have to translate from English to Finnish, and back again. :)

I only had to translate from English to English and back again. :D

Another font question

Does anyone have any idea of the name of the big black script font used in the dueling arena to identify the different regions of the map?

I like the look of it, but never been able to find it.

Well, in this case that wasn't the main reason: I had to test first, because I really didn't know or remember whether it would be possible or not. Or should that rather be "were" than "would be", to qualify your suggestion?

Try "Segoe Script".

That's it!

I looked at hundreds of script fonts and it was right under my nose the whole time :)

Thanks, much appreciated.
